I'm using a Surface Book Pro Core i7, 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM / dGPU. Expensive but it's a nice setup.

Do you intend to edit 1080 or 4K video. That's makes a difference.

I'm currently running an Asus G74SX, Intel i7, Nvidia 550m, with a 500gb Samsung SSD with no issues running all programs needed for processing and editing 4k videos.

I want the option to edit in 4K but obviously budget is a factor. I have around £1200 to spend

Take a look at a Dell XPS 13 or a Lenovo Yoga 900 on their respective sites. They can be configured with enough horsepower to do what you want and at your price level. And I would also check out HP as well.

HP Omen 17. 7700HQ (Which should help with encoding 4k video), 16Gb ram (after upgrading) and two hard drives. One M.2. and the other a 1tb hdd. Also has a 1070 card which rocks. Not a bad machine, bit cheaper than the others with acceptable to high fan noise.

If the laptop has a separate graphics card and a SSD drive and the i7 or i5 processor and can have 8GB of RAM you will be fine. The Lenovo X270 with this configuration sells for $1,263, though it has Windows 10 Pro. I buy the Lenovo computers which still ship with Windows 7 Pro and when that is not longer possible I will be switching to Mac Pro and OS X. The X270 has up to 23 hour battery life and boots in seconds thanks to the SSD and for use when traveling I find both aspects invaluable.

To the OP: No need to be afraid of Windows 10. A simple addition to the 'hosts' file will stop the information being sent. Or just turn stuff off the traditional way. Search for hosts someone that cares... it's a blue page with a lot of text.
